Deathwish
well i wasnt tryin to say its nothing but luck its just has alot of luck in it. and u cant say it doesnt. and yes u need skill to play rpgs its just there is enough luck in the games that it plays passed skills.
lets take WoW.
2 mages lets say.
frost mage vs fire mage for a duel a 60 frost mage will have a 50% chance to crit fire mages can built up there crit chance but its by 10's and only 3 crits allowed. with a 3 minute cooldown.
now the frost mage will win hands down. but oh wait the frost mage got unlucky the fire mage resisted most of the frost mages attacks.
fire mage crtis with pyro blast and does a chain of instacasts and crtis every time.( i have seen this luck happen many times on both sides.)
then lets give another one.
frost mage has 1 hit left on the fire mage,yet fire mage has 2 hit left.
fire mage resisted the attack. fire mage crits and kills the frost mage.
see thats the luck i dont like to play with.
as in fps its not all about aim shoot miss or hit.
its all about skill. ( some of them have luck due to gun spread)
u have to lisen for there team know where the shots are coming from.
movement to allow dodgeing and geting around ect.
aim and tactics.
see rpgs have tacitcs to as formovment very few alow good movment to get u ahead of the game.
u can make it so u crit more or have more life ect.
but again there is alot of luck in the games.
And there is were you and I differ...
I don't play wow, so a lot of what you just said went over my head.... I do play Disgaia though so some of it got through my tiny mind.
xp Yes I understand that you have that bit of chance to be hit hard or not at all. This is were Character equipment comes into play. A good example of this being the .hack games with their six elements.
fire-water earth-wood lightning-darkness
each haveing a chance of elemental critical on it's oposeing element. If you remember this before going into a feild, you can equip your character properly and go to a much higher levle aria than you could normaly. An example would be:
I can take my lvl 3 character to a lvl 5 wood feild if i am lucky.
But, If I were to equip wood resistant armor and earth elemental weapons I could go to a lvl 15 wood feild useing the same character without fear.
So yes, luck dose play it's fair share. But I don't agree that it is
mostly luck... just careful planning with a bit of chance thrown in.
